General / Re: Attractmode launches MAME, but not ROM. ROM then launches fine from MAME. Help?

« Last post by progets on Yesterday at 11:47:04 PM »

Make sure you have the rompath to your MAME games defined in your MAME emulator (not AttractMode) mame.ini file. Make sure you have the correct settings in your /attract/emulators/mame.cfg AttractMode emulator file. If you're uncertain of these files, post your files so we can take a look.

General / Attractmode launches MAME, but not ROM. ROM then launches fine from MAME. Help?

« Last post by erevans on Yesterday at 10:35:31 PM »

Sorry if this is a simple problem.  I'm very busy with kids and work and have very limited time to devote to solving this if it can be solved by some resident knowledge.

Running Attractmode. When I choose a rom, MAME opens. I can then launch rom from MAME.  I want it to be as seamless as possible.  Any pointers?

If it matters, I'm running Linux.

Thank you in advance.

What you are seeing is called the Displays Menu. You see it because you have systems in your /attract/attract.cfg file that are marked with

Code: [Select]

in_menu              yes

Here are some pics of the setup.


This is the arcade emulator using the robospin with one of the filters. If I push a button a list of the filters with other categories pops up and I can switch to it.


If I push left or right it goes to the Retropie configuration. Those are the only 2 things I have running.


If I push the "back" button it brings up this screen. When I push up or down it goes between 2 selections, I think they are just the Retropie configuration screen(see above) and the arcade emulation(see above). When I selected one of them the unit froze.

Before when I push the "back" button it would prompt me with this.



No idea why it all of a sudden brings me to the other screen.

General / Why am I taking an extra step to exit?

« Last post by RyeBrewls17 on Yesterday at 08:52:50 AM »

So I built an arcade1up unit and got my retropie 3b+ installed onto it. I added attract mode and some other details to make it look sharp. The only emulator I have running is the arcade. I removed the others from the list. So now when I push the joystick left or right it shows the Retropie menu and the arcade emulator with all the games. The past few days I've been getting Filters set up for the arcade games, different categories like fighting, shmups, classics, etc. It was all working great. This morning I went to finalize a few things and when it started it asked me for a username and password. It's happened before but don't really know why it did it this time, but whatever I can fix that. The real issue is when I went to exit attract mode. Usually if I'm on the main screens with either the Retropie menu or the arcade emulator up I hit the back button and it asks if I want to exit. Now, when I hit the back button it loads an extra layout, it looks just like the arcade one with robospin and everything, but the only choices are the Retropie menu and arcade emulator. From there I have to hit the back button again in order to exit. It's like a new filter was added above everything else. I was messing around with the filters but when I went to test them it all looked fine. Just the ones I made for the arcade categories are showing on the list. Nothing strange in the menu either. I tried looking for an answer but it's a weird situation and I'm not real sure what to search. Any help would be great. Thanks.
